So I have made some comments on other posts about this series but I felt I needed to do a post to get my full POV out there. So I am re reading TOA and I did not like the first book. I remember liking it the first time but upon second reading it feels…well lazy. Not that Rick is a bad writer but they never left camp half blood. Like I get there couldn’t be a prophecy but it feels very lazy to have the very thing they are looking for be in the woods. I’m currently reading the second book and it’s much better but the first book just felt meh. Those are just my thoughts.

Edit: so I finished the second book and am on the third and I stick to my point about it being a little lazy. Like for each book a majority takes place at one place whether camp half blood or the safe house(forget the name). It’s definitely not bad but it’s not up to his usual standards.
